You've just hurt mine's feelings! Actually many scsi adapters have
them. Lately all manner of riffraff have been blaming them for things
from read time-outs to El Ni¤o but mine works fine -- especially
considering the FDD is seven years old.

If you can afford the relatively meagre upgrade premium, SCSI is the
way to go -- not only faster and more efficient, but a cinch when you
need to add a peripheral: just unterminate, plug in, re-terminate.
